On Saturday September 29th, we welcomed a new dog into our home. Yes, our pack has grown yet AGAIN. A family member had a Yorkie that they unfortunately could not devote the time and attention that it needed. It was such a cute dog that we had already grown to love. Just the thought of knowing he would go away to new strange home again was hard to think of. No sense in letting that happen. Since we did the same for Sophie and Gina, why not open our home to a Yorkie too?
He originally came with the name Scruffy. Although, we quickly found out that Scruffy sounded too much like Sophie and it was causing a lot of confusion. We were then left with the task of renaming him. What to name a cute dog who always looks a little scruffy....
Blandina then thought of the word "raggedy." It then reminded her of her childhood dolls Raggedy Ann and Andy. That settled that. He would be called Andy.
Andy is a really fun, playful and energetic dog. He's definitely brought excitement into the home for all of us. It has been nice to have the help of two older dogs to take Andy under their wings and teach him how things are done. He seems to look up to them. We were warned that he didn't get along much with bigger dogs. Little did Andy know that the only dog that likes to play in this house is the Golden Retriever Sophie. Gina our Miniature Poodle had always kept to herself, and stays by Blandina's side. Gina wasn't about to change her ways now. With a little bit of coaxing on Sophie's part, Andy warmed up to her...and we mean that literally too. Andy learned to trust her and now they have so much fun. Every day they play together until they tire each other out. When there's no more strength left in them they nap together. It's intriguing to watch this unforeseen friendship grow. We couldn't imagine ever separating them now.
